Klance :: Not So Different

Silent

The castle halls were silent.

Keith was the only one awake at this hour as he absent mindedly wandered. Keith sighed as stopped by a window. He turned and looked out at the stars. They flickered and shown.

The red paladin sighed, resting his forehead on the window. He toyed with the sleeves of Lance's navy blue hoodie. Keith groaned as his hair slipped in front if his face, so he grabbed a hairtie off his wrist and pulled his hair back into a ponytail. "I need to cut this."

"You know I like it."

Keith hummed as strong, sleepy arms wrapped around his waist. "Lance... I thought you were asleep?"

Lance rested his chin on Keith's shoulder. "I was, but I woke up and you weren't there." Keith nodded and muttered an apology. Lance shrugged, closing his eye. He had taken Lae off to sleep and covered the scar with a gauze pad. "Will you come back to bed? It's lonely."

"Yeah." Keith whispered. "Just... Just another minute."

"I'll stay with you." Lance murmured, tilting his head to kiss Keith's neck. Keith didn't say anything.

They stood together in silence, Keith staring out at the stars while Lance leaned on Keith and breathed in deeply. Keith tilted his head as a small solar system came into view. The planets all had similar sizes, but each were different colors. Lance gently squeezed Keith.

Lance began to hum softly and a small smile curled Keith's lips. Keith hummed along, taking Lance's hands.

The blue paladin continued to hum as he pulled away and twisted Keith to face him. He pulled Keith to him, weaving their fingers together and placed his other hand on Keith's waist. The red paladin raised a brow, but still smiled. Lance closed his eye and led Keith around in the hallway, their only light from the stars.

Keith followed, his eyes fixed on Lance as the moved in the dark. Lance maneuvered so smoothly and moved Keith along with him in the silence.

Both the paladins stayed quiet as they danced to the silent music.

Lance sighed, leaning back on the counter as Hunk and Shay cooked together. "Hey, buddy?" Hunk hummed in question. "How long do you think is long enough until I can ask Keith to marry me?"

Shay gasped while Hunk was startled into dropping the plates he had in hand. "Dude... What!?"

The blue paladin shrugged. "I just... I was thinking about it the other night when I was dancing with him. I really wanna ask him, man."

"I think you should."

Lance glanced over his shoulder as Pidge came in. "I mean, it makes sense. All you two have left to do is get married, then you're the perfect couple."

Lance tilted his head. "I wouldn't say we're perfect, but... Yeah, we're perfect. What about you and Shiro?"

Pidge grinned and adjusted her glasses. "You don't need to know, nosey."

Lance rolled his eyes while Shay giggled and Hunk shook his head.

Keith swung his leg, knocking Lance directly onto his back. "Ow!" Lance yelped, then grunted as Keith sat on him and pressed his blade to his neck. "You got me, you got me." Lance muttered, rubbing his head. "Ouch."

Keith grinned in triumph and retracted his blade. Then he frowned as Lance smirked. "What?"

Lance just shrugged, smirk widening. "Oh, nothing... Just, you're sitting right on my dick."

The red paladin blinked, eyes widening before his neck and,face flushed red and his ears flicked backwards. "Oh my-" He went to get up, but Lance grabbed his hips and sat him right back down. "Lance!"

The blue paladin snickered. "You can't get up until you give me a kiss." He stated with a smug, childish pout. Keith groaned while Lance wiggled his brow. "Just one little kiss."

Keith sighed, setting his bayard aside. "Fine. One kiss." He grumbled, leaning down.

Annoyed with Lance's antics, Keith decided to just peck Lance's lips. "There. That's it. That's all that you're getting out of me."

Lance gasped. "Hey! That's not fair!" Lance whined as Keith rolled off and got to his feet.

Keith sighed and shook his head, raising his bayard. "Alright, how about this? You win the next round, you get a better kiss."

"And if I loose?"

"No kisses for the rest of the day." Keith smirked, his hands on his hips.

Lance huffed, propping himself up on his elbows. "That's dirty." He pushed himself up to his feet. "I like it. What's my weapon?"

Keith hummed and grabbed a practice sword. "Here."

The blue paladin eyed the sword, then took it. "Really dirty. You really don't wanna kiss me, huh?" Lance raised a brow.

Keith shrugged, taking a few steps away. "I guess so."

Lance grinned and took stance. "I'm even more determined to win, now."

"You won't."

"Watch me, Kitten."

~

That round went on way longer than Keith expected, and had not ended how he had expected either.

Currently, Keith was pinned under Lance's blade. He sighed and tossed his bayard. "I yield. Your win."

Lance smirked, raising his chin proudly before tossing his blade. "I guess I get my kiss now," he mused as he got down to his knee and helped Keith sit up. "Or, do you need some time to catch your breath, Kitten?"

Keith groaned and grabbed Lance's tank top. He yanked Lance closer and crushed their lips together. Lance grabbed Keith's waist, pulling him up to be in a more comfortable angle before they toppled over onto the floor.

Lance lay on his back, Keith on top of him, still gripping Lance's tank top. Lance curled his fingers for a tighter hold on Keith's waist as Keith ground his hips against his crotch. Lance reached up with one hand, tangling his fingers in Keith's lengthy hair and holding Keith there.

Keith pulled away for breath, both panting at the heat suddenly radiating from their bodies. Keith's ears twitched and sweat beaded his forehead. Lance ran his knuckles over Keith's cheek. He smiled and his eye softened. What's that look for? Keith wondered as he was led down for another kiss.

A gentler kiss. One not filled with so much heat.

Lance smiled again once Keith pulled away.

"What?" Keith asked, out of breath.

The blue paladin hummed, carding his fingers through Keith's hair. "I just... I wanna ask you something."

Keith tilted his head. "What is it?"

Lance looked up into Keith's eyes. "Keith... Will you marry me?"
